Call me naive if you like, but one reason for optimism in all this could be the absence so far of legal moves against Apple, especially in jurisdictions outside the United States. The EU could be an interesting one. You can have the tightest EULA in the universe, but it still has to comply with statute law.

Typically trade practices law prohibits not just deceptive but misleading conduct. It is difficult to imagine that major corporations and institutions who would incur significant costs in retooling post-FCP7 would not yet have engaged Sue, Grabbit and Runne to cast their yellowed eye over the representations made about FCPX both before its release and since.

Could it be that Apple is providing more comforting information to large, irritated and litigious clients than to the common herd?
